Drop it on the piedestal with the "R" key (by default).

Aarghhh! I must have dropped it on there 10 times - & missed every time :o

Thanx, gaetane, for a wonderful 2nd mission - the story is unfolding beautifully (love those blood-stains!) & you've made a new addition to my absolute favourite Thief mansions.

Must go: just started part 3...

Where is the meat cleaver again? I'm going back and playing this mission in an attempt to ghost and totally forgot where I found it. I thought it was somewhere in the room with the blood on the floor on the second floor.

No, it's on the first floor. There is a room next to the kitchen with a guard standing in front of a fireplace. There is a locked door in that room which leads to some guard or servant's room. The cleaver is in a footlocker in that room.

Ok. Thanks. Weird how you can get mixed up doing these missions. Great campaign by the way. And it looks like more campaigns are being done as well. Nothing like a Thief resurgence to make you feel happy. :cheeky:

Yep! :thumb:

Just Perfect Thieved this mission without a single first alert, without deactivating any security systems, and without using any water or moss arrows. :cheeky: Perfect Supreme success you ask? Well maybe, I'll let you be the judge. The Breath of Karras posed some problems that might have lead to a bust.

On to Tears and Sorrow! :D

I read your report, klatremus. Nice job! I did something similar during testing. I don't know about the supreme bust. My gut reaction is to say that it is one but I'll think about it. I agree with you though that your choice was the only one that might not be a bust. Either way, though, really nice work. :thumb:

Thanks, Tannar :)
A bust was my gut feeling too. Regardless, I had a blast ghosting this one and I think I chose the least 'bustful' way by triggering the alarm for Supreme. I hope the remaining missions are as good.

I've just read your report. Kudos Klatremus - very entertaining and very impressive!
